Badges and Awards
Much of the content of this page has been based
on the information supplied on
ScoutBaseUK. More
information can be found in the
ExplorerScout section.
The Explorer Scout Section has a wide range of awards and badges designed to appeal to all Explorer Scouts, regardless of the type of Unit of which they are a member. The awards and badges are an important part of Scouting, as they offer challenge, achievement and recognition for young people.

Staged activity badgesIn
addition to the Explorer Activity Badges, there are six Staged
Activity Badges:
The Staged Activity Badges have been designed to provide a unified approach throughout the Sections. All the Staged Activity Badges have 5 stages, except Nights Away - which has 12 and Hikes Away, which has six. This means that a young person can gain whichever badge is appropriate to the level they have reached. It is possible, for example, for a Beaver Scout who is an excellent swimmer to gain a higher level badge than a Scout who has just taken up the activity. more about Staged activity badges...

Chief Scout's and Queen's Scouts AwardandDuke of Edinburgh's AwardsIn the Explorer Scout section there are three main awards: To go with these you will also need: more about Chief Scout's and Queen's Scouts Award...
The top awards in the Explorer Scout and
Scout Network Sections are the Chief Scout's Platinum Award,
the Chief Scout's Diamond Award and the Queen's Scout Award.
All three are linked to the Duke of Edinburgh's Awards
(Bronze, Silver and Gold respectively).
To participate in the Duke of Edinburgh's Awards, Explorer Scouts need to be registered in order to get a Record Book. With good planning, it is possible to gain both the Scouting Award and the appropriate Duke of Edinburgh's Award; a double recognition of achievement. The main differences between the two schemes are outlined in the table below.
The full requirements of the Duke of Edinburgh's Awards can be found in the Record Books and in publications available from the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. You can get these from your County or Area contact or from the Scout Information Centre. You can find more information from www.theaward.org
Explorer Belt
The Explorer Belt is the challenge of a lifetime
that is available to Explorer Scouts aged over 16 and members of the
Scout Network.
Certificate of Achievement
As the reward for completing each year in Scouting and actively
taking part in the programme, a young person receives a form of
recognition. In Beaver Scouts and Cub Scouts, this is called the
Joining-In Badge, and in Scouts it is called the Participation
Badge. In Explorer Scouts and the Scout Network, Members are
encouraged to complete a Certificate of Achievement to show what
they have done during the previous twelve months and what they hope
to achieve during the next twelve.
